Sorry this is already commited to main branch. Not sure how to remove it from this PR but should be no-op on merging.
| * Beacons are only sent over the same network that was active when the beacon was registered | ||
| (e.g. if the user goes offline and moves to a new network, discard pending beacons). | ||
| * Beacons must not leak information that a page should not know when it is in bfcache, | ||
| e.g. if network changes after a page goes into bfcache, the beacon should not be sent; if the page then goes out of bfcache, the beacon can be sent. |

I could suggest
"if the page is then restored from bfcache"
